THE BRABUS ROCKET GTS IS THE COACHBUILT CARBON SHOOTING BRAKE OF OUR DREAMS!
The BRABUS ROCKET GTS marks a new era in the legacy of high-performance coachbuilding. This hyper Gran Turismo shooting brake, fully crafted in exposed carbon, combines sleek, aggressive styling with a bold stance that screams dominance and suitcases full of F-You money. Engineered for that '1-Second-Wow' effect, it boasts an awe-inspiring 735 kW - exactly 1,000 hp. Every line, every detail speaks BRABUS, refined through cutting-edge CAD and CFD tech and fine-tuned in the wind tunnel for an elevated luxury experience. Constructed using the latest autoclave and pre-preg carbon processes, the Hyper GT’s lightweight body balances downforce across both axles to ensure rock-solid stability beyond 300 km/h. Up front, a custom BRABUS apron with an integrated spoiler cuts lift and channels air toward the brakes and radiators, while sculpted side skirts flow seamlessly into the rear arches, showcasing a muscular 198.5 cm width. At the rear, the ROCKET apron integrates an exposed carbon diffuser that frames four illuminated, carbon-wrapped titanium tailpipes - engineered not just for looks but to enhance rear downforce alongside a BRABUS tailgate spoiler. The ROCKET GTS rides on exclusive 5-spoke BRABUS Monoblock P Platinum Edition centre-lock wheels, forged with CNC precision for optimal strength-to-weight ratio. Each rim sports integrated carbon aero blades to funnel brake heat out of the wheel wells, enhancing cooling and performance. Powering this carbon beast is a BRABUS-tuned twin-turbo V8 paired with electric assistance, forming a monstrous hybrid drivetrain. This is the way of the future, much to the “purists” who think electric assistance or full EV power is the devil. This mad setup cranks out an earth-shaking 735 kW (1,000 hp) and a staggering 1,820 Nm of torque - but that has been electronically capped at 1,620 Nm to protect the transmission because so many torques can strip gears of their geary things and pull side shafts apart like they’re made from petrified wood. You can imagine leaving a show in the car and smashing the loud pedal into the floor but going nowhere because the drivetrain is in pieces on the floor.
The core of the powertrain is the BRABUS 1000, a twin-turbocharged 4.5-litre V8 engine, delivering 585 kW and 1,250 Nm, with torque limited to 1,050 Nm for reliability. The V8 drives a 9-speed sports transmission that can shift automatically or via steering paddles. Supporting the V8 is a rear-mounted electric drive module with a 150 kW motor, a two-speed gearbox, and a 6.1 kWh lithium-ion battery, pushing the ROCKET GTS into the realm of the world’s fastest hybrids. The numbers say it all: 0-100 km/h in a blistering 2.6 seconds, 0-200 km/h in 9.5 seconds, and 0-300 km/h in 23.6 seconds, capped by an electronically limited 317 km/h top speed. The V8 is enhanced with a BRABUS high-performance exhaust system, complete with active valves that let drivers switch between a subtle purr and an all-out V8 roar. Inside, the ROCKET GTS features a bespoke BRABUS Masterpiece interior. Slate-grey leather covers the seats, door panels, and the dash, offset by black Alcantara on the headliner, pillars, and upper panels. Light-grey diamond quilting and seashell stitching bring texture to the seats, door trim, and console, with embossed BRABUS “Double-B” logos adding signature flair. Finishing touches include carbon-fibre entry sills illuminated with the BRABUS logo, Shadow Gray trim on switches and grilles, and exclusive ROCKET GTS badges across the cabin. With all the artistry and engineering that BRABUS can pack into a single car, the ROCKET GTS stands as the finest BRABUS project to date - a true pinnacle of power, luxury, and unmatched design.
